First plant I've ever grown in a solo cup. She was stunted as a seedling and just took longer than the others. So she missed being translated into a 1 gallon. I kept a cut off her so she'll get another go if her smoke is good

Hey Eso,
From my experience with PSBC Cindy, she has some very robust phenos. If the cut doesn't grow a little faster for you than the stunted mom, I would suggest to keep looking , even if you get nice smoke. My keeper, for example, roots quickly and grows fast and furious with big yields, and given the consistency of MikeJ's work, I would have to think it shouldn't be too hard to find again.
Good luck either way, brother. :)

She clones well and grows well I just started that batch of seedlings in shitty soil and some plants were not happy. She came back nicely once transplanted into better soil but I just left her in cup.

This is the 4th c99 female from peak and she is very much like the previous ladies.

No, I could get some but it's just a small plant I stuck it outside and it don't get much sun. Now that it stretched for the sun I noticed it grows 3 leaves per node in a triangle pattern.

Hey folks, figured I should share my current project here. Doing a run of Peakseedsbc Sweet Skunk x Haze and I'm going to make some seeds to save and share as well. I popped all 10 out the pack and have had them vegging for a couple months now, topped a few times and are just about ready to flip now. Earlier I took a gamble and picked out a few plants last month and flipped them early hoping to find some males and lucked out and got two males from which I'm saving pollen to use during the flower run.

I completely agree with you. I know there's consistency in the line of course, but there are definitely some that are much more resilient than others. I tried to get Mike's cut to work for me, but it must not like my growing style. One hasty-dried microwave sample I tried tonight at 48 days, with seeds still ripening all over it, in the Solo 2, was incredibly nice for such a crude sample. She is lanky and not that manageable inside, but her other characteristics are great. Every female I have grown out has been distinct. Some I have culled in veg, and one I have had for over two years now because she's so dependable and can finish outdoors in challenging conditions. Only one fat budded girl showed mold outdoors. She smelled a little like the dollar store. He will never go for complete homogeneity, as that will just lead to a lack of vigor in the line. His C99 line is definitely worth spending time on. I am still looking for one that has a strong pineapple smell, as mine have been mild to this point.

Mike is a class act. Most newbs would benefit from growing Peak seeds on their first run. Quality seeds at a fair price

Yeah! Mike is awesome. My first attempt at organics outdoors, with actual good stock and not random bag seeds, was Peak's stuff. SSxC99, Kush Berry and a NLxKush 10 pack was thrown in for free. I had a lot of issues with the Kush stuff outside but maybe that was user error. The SSxC99 is my all-time fav now though and did it two years in a row. I also had some mutation issues with Texada Skunk last year and he sent me a free pack of my choosing I believe. Even if I'm remembering incorrectly he 100% made it right, above and beyond what most people would do.

Sadly, I didn't get any SSxC99 this year but still had some Texada Skunk x C99 seeds left which are in flower at the moment. It's crazy how uniform his genetics are. Last season I got 7 females out of a 10 pack of SSxC99 and gave away one. Grew out the other 6 and you could not tell them apart visually. Some had subtle smell differences though. NLxSkunk and Nothern Haze leftovers overs growing currently too but they're not showing much yet and will be the usual stubborn battle into late October. NL Skunk was still really potent last year even if I might have cut it a tad early and the Nothern Haze I found two cool phenos last year, one was like a sweet hazelnut type smell and the other was a beautiful classic gassy/chemical lemon thing. I think both plants I have up of NL Haze are of the lemon type, that's what the stem rub tells me anyway.

Another note about the NL Skunk is that 2 years in a row I found a self spliting/topping pheno that Y's out eventually in an interesting way

@Chuck'd Genetics

I tried growing out HazexSS last year since it was a free tester and it was a bust outdoors of course. Was in my greenhouse in November hating life before I cut it down. Stil had the nice colours like yours show and a delightful tropical fruity smell that really made me wish I could grow it properly to do it justice.

Anyone follow MikeJ on twitter?

I don't have a twitter account, but he mentioned in an email that he is communicating his plans on there, so I popped over for a look. On his account, he calls himself an "aspiring licensee". Looks like he's making the switch to legal.

If that's where the money and peace of mind are, I wish him nothing but the best.

Glad I'm all stocked up on seeds though.

I'm sure most of us knew this had been in the works for a while.
I know I've been preparing for the end of grey market PSBC. I've made my own seeds of his IBLs and can recreate most of his classic F1's. I wish he had the kush he uses in the crosses in seed form, but oh well, can't always get what you want.

Now that we appear to have finally reached the precipice, I will admit to a sense of loss.

It's kind of like when your favorite underground band gets signed. You wish them the best, but inside, you pine a little for the days when they were your own special secret.

My selfish thoughts aside, I hope the PSBC brand becomes a beast in the legal market and fills Mike's bank account.

Thanks for everything, Mr J!

Any info on the Haze and C99 crosses?

Favorite strain overall?

Cindy has been my favorite from PSBC. My Cindy x BB cross is a beautiful high as well.

KNL has produced some fantastic smoke, but has some fussy phenos. I'm growing out a mom now that was just too much of a drama queen to keep, but I love the bud she produces.

Sweet Skunk has always been a bit scary to me, as an IBL, and in the xC99 crosses. It can be very racy. It tends to magnify any tension I'm feeling. If I was still into hitting the mosh pit, it would be good pre-gig smoke, but I'm too old for that shit;). It's probably my least favorite of Peak's lines. (@hillbill's differing view of SS remind me how cannabis is such a personal thing, and effects all of us in a unique way)

I have a love/hate relationship with Blueberry. It can produce some of the most beautiful, colourful buds with a wonderful effect, but she's so inbred that there are a lot of potential issues. I made a pile of seeds and need to do a proper pheno hunt, but that is a lot of effort and resources.

SSxC99 is top notch daytime smoke, mango flavoured.
Pure haze another racey strain. Chocolate, caramel, and butterscotch is all I smelt from those jars.
KNL classic kush, was my go-to night weed for awhile.
NB zero stretch on this plant great for small spaces, nice fruity smoke, day or night.

Those were all grown from clone gifted from Mike J. And we're my favorites.

Hands down seed or clone, his SSxC99 is my favorite day smoke of all time.

His NS is not on this list, it's good smoke but just not for me, it's great smoke, just not what I'm after.

Anyone who has grown Mike's C99 x Haze or C99 x Kush…what is the flowering stretch? Thought I had better ask before I let it veg to long.

I'm curious on the flowering time for the C99 Kush and if it can be run outside. I found the kush crosses to be weak to PM and botrytis outdoors but maybe I just sucked worse at grower then (likely)
